I’ve worn many hats in my life: English teacher, babysitter, yogini, painter, hitchhiker, puppeteer, sous-chef, freelance writer, tour guide, photographer’s assistant, traveller… Some might call me a “jack-of-all- trades” but I prefer “Renaissance woman” 😉😊

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

🌸 I lived in the Amazon Jungle for 2 years where I worked alongside the Shipibo tribe learning about plant spirit shamanism. They taught me how we can access the dreamworld through our relationship with plants.

🌸 Hitchhiked across Honduras and got picked up by a funeral van

🌸Cycled across the whole of Cambodia by myself

🌸Lived on the streets for 2 weeks (long story lol)

🌸Conversed with Indian sadhus who could read my mind!

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

🧘‍♂️I’m happy to share anything you think I am capable of sharing with you- from English and French language lessons, to travel tips and yoga asanas (I’m a certified teacher ;) :)

🥑I also worked in kitchens on and off for many years so I’m happy to cook for you too :)

🌱I have a pretty good knowledge of medicinal herbs so if you have any ailments that you want to heal naturally I’m happy to share my knowledge of plants and herbs :)

🏠 Also happy to chip in for all expenses :) And of course, you’ll always have a place to stay wherever I am in the world.

🪶Also, please don’t feel that you have to entertain me if you want to chill out alone or have other plans. I am very independent and happy to adapt myself to your schedule. Of course, hanging out is awesome too but not a necessity :) :)
